Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel: Review

Aloe vera gel is known for its healing properties. I wanted a good aloe vera gel which I can use daily since chopping down a leaf from the plant and extracting gel from it gets a little messy. I have been seeing Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel for quite some time and thought about getting one for me.

Patanjali has re-branded their Aloe Vera Gel for making it a part of their Saundarya Skin Care range and now several outlets are selling the new version which is Patanjali Saundarya Aloe Vera Gel. So, if you are getting it for the first time and has the old packaging one, it is better to check the manufacturing date and best before date for making an informed buying decision. Don't freak out for it being the fake product, it is just an old packaging one.

According to the brand

Aloe Vera plants have medicinal properties and hence are widely used in treating the burns, cuts, insect bites and several other skin ailments. This is one product that you must keep in your house, so that you can easily treat the kitchen burns and other injuries without wasting time.

The uses of aloe Vera plant are known since centuries but still many people are not aware about the conditions that can be treated with it

Due to the effectiveness of aloe vera in treating skin conditions it has been included in various cosmetics and facial creams

Enriched with the medicinal qualities of aloe vera and beneficial to keep skin healthy, beautiful, energetic and glaring

Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel comes in a clear tube with orange flip top cap. I like the packaging as you can tell how much product is left.

My Take

This is the closest to an affordable 'purest' aloe vera gel available over the counter.I love how it moisturizes my skin and has helped in improving the texture of my skin. I can't say it is effective on tanning, wrinkles and pimples. It looks slight green in tube but while applying it is transparent. I massage my skin with it every night and prefer to leave it over night. What I don't like about it is how it becomes sticky on drying. If you wish to use it as a primer or leave on your face for the day, I would suggest to take only pea size amount.
